I slept pretty well last night. I feel like I have more energy this morning, but I won’t know for sure until about 9:30 or so.
I did a full 2-mile walk this morning. What with the rain last night, the snow was completely gone and the walking was much easier. I also seemed to have pretty good aerobic capacity – although I’m certainly not ready to start jogging.
I was really windy this morning! The temperature was 60 degrees and the wind gusts must have been at least 50 mph. Today is trash collection day in Vineland and there was trash all over the place.
While I heard the wind howling through the trees, I could also hear the sound of aluminum beverage cans being blown down the road.
Upon returning home, I discovered my own trash container had blown over, the plastic bag had popped open and there was trash all around. It proved to be a rather painful job to pick it all up and restore the trash containers to their original configuration. The bending caused my back to hurt on the lower left part of the rib cage. I suspect it was putting pressure on the fluid that is between my left lung and the rib cage.
The discomfort is fading now. Upon returning, I was still able to do 9 pushups (I almost got 10 in) and 18 sit-ups. My weight this morning is the same as yesterday – 155 lbs.
I will likely leave the office early today, but I think I should be able to last longer than the last two days.
